We did some Aframe work this week at training, either in full or in bits. Rio hasn’t yet seen a full Aframe, but I don’t expect that for a while. I am beginning to backchain her 2o2o on a sloped Aframe board and she is doing really well. Her drive into position is sometimes very enthusiastic and sometimes a little bit more thoughtful, but it’s nothing unusual for her. She tends to spend some time testing the boundaries of her criteria, and that involves some slower work where I can see her thinking about things!<\/p>\n
She is very happy to tug in position, and is making a big effort to stay in the 2o2o even if I try and get her to slide off. I’m not trying too hard yet, but I’m pleased that she understands this game! This is something I could never get Dylan to do, he doesn’t like tugging in position as it’s too pressurised.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Dylan, he did some lovely Aframes as well this week. We also worked on some more complex courses and I tried to handle more assertively, including a few more blind crosses than I would usually attempt. Providing I get my timing right and cue it clearly, a blind cross works just fine for Dylan and I. I’m pleased with how we’re working right now, I hope we can carry it through to the weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
